People who are prone to tell you how great they are. Fond of touting their robust economy while failing to mention it was built on the foundation of an E.U. welfare state. Think everything Celtic is romantic, special, unique blah blah blah. Sometimes consider the Scotch and Welsh as Celtic kinsman and sometimes exclude them for not not being true Celts (as if Ireland has the only claim). Say they have their own language but unlike Wales, no one can actually speak it and haven;t for years (That makes them posseurs). Their beer is overrated (Beamish is really good, but doesn't have Guiness' marketing) food sucks (this ain't no France) and sometimes call themselves the blacks of Europe (this is especially offensive, yes they were oppressed but is this the equivalent of enslavement? Only a douchebag Irishman would think so). Do have a good history of music (the folk shit gets old but they can boast of Van Morrison, U2, Thin Lizzie etc.) The one factor that redeems the Irish? They can shit in a bag, stamp made in Ireland on it, and sell it to stupid Americans for $50.

Irish-American wannabe: Kiss Me I'm Irish
Irishman: Where you from?
IAW: Boston, Red Sox Rule!
Irishman: (shitting in a bag) Would you like to buy an authentic Irish souvenir?

The coolest people ever, and yes we ARE all alchoholics. dont beleive the lies, we are soaked with booze and thats the way we like it. NOT the same as british becasue we have so much better of an accent and are nly rivaled in awsomeness by scotland, both of which have kicked englands ass.

The Irish are:
1.Weak, stupid people, prone to drink
2.Come from an island named ireland
3.Large percentage of gingers
4.Cant speak english probably, even when they try
5.No unique national import except their own stereotype
6.Blame the English for all their troubles(no pun intended)

Ed:You alright mate, where do you come from then?
Paddy:I'm Irish. From Ireland.
Ed: Wheres that then?

1. People from Ireland
2. The most commical and funny and cool accent ever
3. People who were pestered by the English for around 800 years, poor dears..
4. All of them have at least one leprechaun!
